IND vs AUS: Torrid run continues, tweets Venkatesh Prasad on KL Rahul’s form

Former India pacer Venkatesh Prasad once again ripped into KL Rahul’s inclusion in the Indian Test team, branding the batter’s run as “torrid”. A few days ago, Prasad had tweeted that Rahul’s place in the team was based not on performance but favouritism. “Rahul’s selection is not based on performance but favouritism. Has been consistently inconsistent and for someone who has been around for 8 years not converted potential into performances,” Prasad had written on Twitter. On Saturday, after Rahul had another forgettable outing with the bat where he was dismissed for 17 runs, Prasad took to Twitter again, quote tweeting his earlier thread and writing, “And the torrid run continues. More to do with rigidity of the management to persist with a player who just hasn’t looked the part. No to...
